How I spent my evening

[cupcake_goth]

I have been saying for ages that I need a summer version of my usual top hat. After noodling around teh interwebs, I found a place that sold straw versions of my preferred hat shape!

Before:



After an evening of watching a silly movie (2009's Dorian Gray, which is very pretty) while doing a lot of sewing:



All I have left to do is add a hat band and feathers. Yes, my crafting/D.I.Y. urge when it comes to my wardrobe kind of borders on mania, how clever of you to have noticed.

It's lovely! And so is the 2009 Dorian Gray, which has the advantage of being full of pretty MEN, who even occasionally kiss EACH OTHER. While wearing gorgeous period costume. This pretty much makes it candy-coated crack for me, even if objectively it's only a so-so movie.

I'd add roses, not feathers, unless maybe peacock feathers, but.. lovely hat!
